Lucknow: Today’s match is very important for both KKR and Lucknow Super Giants (Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders). Both are desperate to change their fate. If KKR gets two points, they will lose their status as last boys and a big win for Lucknow will take them up to number five in the league table. Many believe that the battle is going to be mainly KKR’s bowling versus Lucknow’s batting. If Pathirana returns to the playing XI and Lucknow’s star-studded batting attack is able to bat in its natural form, then expect a tight battle over the weekend.

Obviously a nine vs ten battle in the league table, but against Lucknow Super Giants on the weekend Kolkata Knight Riders match is immense for the Knights. A loss in this match, even midway through the tournament, could put a damper on a career’s playoff dreams. Naturally so determined to win the match KKR. And before the match, the question that is on the minds of Knight fans the most is whether Matheesha Pathirana will play in this match? 

After a long injury, finally IPL Getting permission to play, Pathirana came to India. He was seen training alone at Eden on Monday. Reports were claiming that he was fit for the match. The Lankan star fast bowler was also seen participating in the Knights practice while flying with the team to Lucknow. Needless to say, his arrival has boosted the morale of the Knights who got their first win of the season last game. But the Knights authorities are still reluctant to give anything clear about his performance against Lucknow.
